This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/794,687, filed Mar. 15, 2013, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThis invention relates in general to windshield wipers, and more particularly, to an improved connector for a windshield wiper that allows the windshield wiper to be coupled with multiple types of windshield wiper arm configurations. The invention is also directed to windshield wipers incorporating these novel connectors.
BACKGROUNDThere are a variety of wiper arms on which wiper blades are provided as original equipment. These various wiper arms have hooks, pins, or other configurations which may connect to the wiper blade with or without connectors. These various configurations have created a problem in the replacement market because wiper blade providers are required to have multiple wiper blade configurations to accommodate all of the existing wiper arms. It is therefore advantageous to have attachment structures that can accommodate a host of arms to reduce the complexity and cost associated with plurality of wiper blade arm configuration.
The need to a couple replacement windshield wiper blades with various styles of arms has been addressed to some degree. For example, windshield wiper blades have been designed to work with various hook-type wiper arms having different sizes. Connectors may also be configured to receive either a pin-type arm, a hook-type arm and a variety of other arms, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,640,380, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Side-saddled or offset connectors have also been developed for connecting wiper blades with alternative types of wiper arms, as described for instance in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/558,624, filed Jul. 26, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. An adapter may also be used to connect the arm to a windshield wiper. As that term is used herein, an adapter is a separate structure that works together with the connector to allow the windshield wiper to connect to a type of wiper arm. An example adapter is described in U.S. Pat. No. 2002/0192017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, wherein an adapter is used to allow a large hook to connect to a wiper blade having a connector that accommodates only small hook arms.
BRIEF SUMMARYA connector for coupling a wiper blade with a wiper arm may include first and second side walls spaced at a distance from each other and connected by a bridge, with the first and second side walls and the bridge defining an upper channel, a rivet passage formed into the first and second sidewalls, with the rivet passage dimensioned to accept and hold a rivet of a wiper blade in order to connect the wiper blade with the connector, and a reinforcement element provided on at least one of the first or second side walls proximate to the upper channel. The connector may also include a rail interconnecting said first and second side walls and vertically spaced from said bridge to define a tail space between said bridge and said rail, and the rail may have a forward most free end positioned rearward of said pin passage and said rivet passage to define a rail-free hook insertion space below said bridge, forward of said pin passage, and between said side walls.
A wiper blade may include a wiper strip, a support structure a support structure, with the support structure distributing force from a wiper arm to the wiper strip, and a connection device disposed on the support structure, and a connector for coupling the connection device of the wiper blade with a wiper arm. The connector may be any embodiment of a connector in accordance with the disclosure.

With reference now to
Various styles of wiper arms 20 of varying dimensions and features are described, for example, in the '380 Patent, whose contents are incorporated by reference. The wiper arms 20 illustrated in
A strong coupling between wiper blade 10 and wiper arm 20 is critical in order for the wiper blade 10 to function properly during use as a windshield wiper for a vehicle. As vehicle designs have changed over the years, so too have the windshield dimensions. Windshields having a greater surface area are increasingly common in modern vehicles. Accordingly, wiper blades 10 are becoming increasingly longer in order to accommodate these larger windshields being developed in the marketplace. For example, while a 28 inch or 32 inch long wiper blade is presently quite common, such a lengthy wiper blade would be exceptionally uncommon just a few years ago. Long wiper blades experience increased lateral forces, or torque, as the blade 10 runs across the windshield than a shorter counterpart blade would experience. Thus, the need to have a stronger coupling between the wiper blade 10 and the arm 20 is increasingly vital in order to resist the greater torque forces experienced by longer wiper blades 10. If the coupling between the wiper blade 10 and arm 20 is weak, such that lateral movement occurs in the direction of the torque forces experienced by the wiper 10, the resulting shaking may result in the wiper strip 60 leaving streaks across the windshield. This phenomena may be referred to as dithering or fishtailing.
In order to reduce the likelihood of streaking during use, and so as to better resist torque or lateral forces exerted against wiper blade 10 at the point of coupling between blade 10 and arm 20, connector 100 may feature sidewalls 102, 104 each having a reinforcement element 110, an inner side 112 of the raised portion 110 thereby defining a more deeply set channel 108 than with sidewalls 102, 104 alone. Reinforcement element 110 may be integrally formed with side walls 102, 104 or may be separately attached. Reinforcement element 110 may include raising at least portions of sidewalls 102, 104 In some embodiments, each side of the raised side wall portion 110 may be parallel or substantially parallel to the other side, while in other embodiments, such as the illustrate embodiment, the inner side 112 of the raised portion 110 bends or curves slightly inward towards channel 108 in order to snap-fittingly engage the wiper arm 20. The upper portions 110 may be resilient to accommodate a snap-fit of wiper arm 20. In addition to extending inwardly, some embodiments may feature an overhang or outward extrusion 114 of raised portion 110, which extends over or beyond the outermost surface of sidewalls 102, 104. Such an outwardly extending portion may reduce the space or gap between connector 100 and base 30. By reducing space between connector 100 and base 30, less of the base 30 is exposed to weather elements such as snow, sleet, mud, dirt, or other foreign debris which may corrode, wear, or otherwise damage connector 100, base 30, or any other portion of wiper blade 10 below connector 100. It is within the disclosure that the outward extrusion 114 may touch or nearly touch the base 30.
In order to further improve resistance to lateral or torque forces, and in order to provide for a stronger or sturdier coupling of arm 10 and blade 20, side walls 102, 104 may further include a support element 130. In the illustrated embodiment, support element 130 is an integral extension of the underside of side walls 102, 104, opposite the raised portion 110, however it is contemplated within the disclosure that support element 130 may be a separate attachment provided to support a more elongate channel 108. Attached support element 130 may be a truss member, for example, diagonally supporting the extension of channel 108, thereby providing more surface area along arm 20 connected with connector 100 in channel 108.
On an underside of connector 100, opposite of the upper side having channel 108, is a first passage or rivet channel 120 and a second passage or pin channel 122. Passages 120, 122 extend through first and second walls 102, 104 and are defined for fittably receiving and holding a rod, pin, or other elongate cylindrical member in a snap-fit. For instance, a rod or rivet provided on a connecting base of wiper blade 10 may be received within passage 120, while a pin from a pin-type wiper arm may be receivable within passage 122. Either first or second passage 120, 122 may include one or more clips 124 which further define the associated passage and may communicate with a rod or pin received in the passage in order to securely hold the rod or pin within the passage. In the illustrated embodiment, clip 124 includes an upper channel portion 126, a resilient clip end 128 defining one side of first passage 122, and passage divider 130 mutually defining the second side of the first passage 122, as well as a first side of the second passage 124. Upper channel portion 128 may be substantially aligned or co-planar with bridge 108, thereby at least partially defining upper channel 108. Clip end 128 extrudes downward from upper channel portion 128 and curves into passage 120 thereby defining one side of the passage. The other side of the passage may be defined by divider 130, which may also be defined as the portion of the side walls 102, 104 between passages 120, 122. Divider 130 functions as a fixed end to the upper channel portion 126 and clip end 128 of clip 124. Upon insertion of a rod into passage 120, clip end 128 may resiliently engage the inserted rod in order to first accept and then hold the rod in passage 120. One or more tabs 132 may also be provided within either first or second passage 120, 122 in order to increase the frictional hold on a received rod.
As discussed above, the upper channel 108 has an entry end 108A and a curved end 108B opposite the entry end. Side walls 102, 104 may be formed into a pair of wings 140 proximate the curved end 108B of channel 108. An arcing cutout 142 may be further provided on one or both wings 140, and a locking tab 144 may be formed onto the inner side of each wing 140 between the cutouts 142. Locking tabs 144 may be at least partially formed by the protrusion of the cutout portion 142 of the sidewalls, or alternatively may be attached or fixed to the side wall. Cutouts 142 may be cantilevered and may also move resiliently in and out of the channel 108 in order to accommodate displacement when larger sized hook-type arms 20 are received in channel 108. Cavities 146 may be further provided on the outer side of wings 140 adjacent to cutouts 142 in order to further accommodate displacement and deflection of wings 140. The resulting tabs 144 and cutouts 142 facilitate channel 108 accommodating a conformingly tight fit for a variety of hook arm 20 sizes.
A lower or tail channel 150 may be defined on the underside of connector 100 for receiving the hook-end portion of the hook-type wiper arm 20. Tail channel 150 may be defined as running through passages 120, 122, and may include a tail slot 152 dimensioned for receiving the end portion a of hook-type arms 20. In
With reference now to
In order to strengthen the connection of hook arm 20 with connector 200, thereby reducing or avoiding the dithering or fishtailing phenomena described above, channel 208 may further include a reinforcement element 210 provided along at least a portion of channel 208. Reinforcement element 210 may include one or more resilient tabs 216 provided along the interior side 212 of channel 208. Upon insertion of a wiper arm 20 into channel 208, tabs 216 may be forced into their respective side walls in order to accommodate and hold the received wiper arm 20. As with element 110, reinforcement element 210 may further include overhangs or outward extrusions 214. A laterally extending support element 230 is also provided in order to improve resistant to lateral or torque forces. Unlike the illustrated embodiment of support element 130, which is an integral extension of the underside of side walls 102, 104, support element 230 is a diagonal beam or truss member for supporting the extension of channel 208.
A reinforcement element or portion 310 is provided along at least portion of channel 308 in order to provide a more secure connection between arm 20A and connector 300. In this embodiment of the disclosure, reinforcement portion 310 includes extensions of side walls 302, 304, however the extensions are of different height or length with respect to each other. Accordingly, this embodiment of connector 300 is one example where the reinforcement portion of the upper channel may be non-uniform. It should be understood, however, that it is contemplated within the disclosure that other embodiments of a connector may be uniformly provided along an upper channel on both side walls.
A reinforcement element or portion 410 is also provided along at least a portion of channel 408 in order to provide a more secure connection between arm 20A and connector 400. As with reinforcement portion 410 of connector 400, this embodiment includes extensions of side walls 402, 404, and the extensions are of different height. In this embodiment, reinforcement portion 410 includes an overhang 418 extending over at least a portion of channel 408, and at least a portion of arm 20A is insertable through channel 408 between bridge 406 and overhang 418.
A wiper blade incorporating a connector as described above is also contemplated within the scope of the described concepts. Such wiper blades include a wiper strip and a connection device, such as a rivet or notches to which connectors as described above may attach. The wiper blade further includes a support structure for distributing the force from the wiper arm to the wiper strip. Such support structures may be brackets or frames, spring-elastic beams, a hybrid structure including both brackets and spring-elastic beams, or any other type of support structure known in the art.
